Bahraini anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in several villages to demand the release of political prisoners.
The demonstrators took to the streets in the village of Dair, located on the northern coast of the Muharraq Island, and the northwestern village of Diraz on Tuesday.
A similar demonstration was also held in the northeastern island of Sitra.
The Saudi-backed regime forces used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators.
Protesters also called for the downfall of the repressive Al Khalifa regime.
Anti-regime protests in Bahrain continue despite the heavy-handed crackdown by the regime forces.
Bahraini demonstrators hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the killing of the protesters during the uprising that began in February 2011.
